Isaiah 66:3-17
3He that slaughtereth an oxH7794, smiteth a manH376; he that sacrificeth a lambH7716, breaketh a dog's neckH6202; he that offereth an oblation, [it is as] swine's bloodH1818; he that presenteth a memorial of incense, [is as] he that blesseth an idol. As they have chosenH977 their own waysH1870, and their soulH5315 delighteth in their abominationsH8251,
4I alsoH1571 will chooseH977 their calamities, and will bringH935 their fears upon them; because I calledH7121, and none answeredH6030, I spokeH1696, and they did not hearH8085, but did that which was evilH7451 in mine eyesH5869, and choseH977 that wherein I delightH2654 not.
5HearH8085 the wordH1697 of Jehovah, ye that tremble at his wordH1697: Your brethren that hatedH8130 you, that cast you out for my name's sakeH4616, saidH559, Let Jehovah be glorifiedH3513, and let us seeH7200 your joyH8057! but they shall be ashamedH954.
6A voiceH6963 of tumult from the cityH5892, a voiceH6963 from the templeH1964, a voiceH6963 of Jehovah that rendereth recompence to his enemiesH341!
7Before she travailed, she broughtH935 forthH3205; before her pain cameH935, she was deliveredH4422 of a man-child.
8Who hath heardH8085 such a thing? who hath seenH7200 such thingsH428? Can a landH776 be madeH8085 to bringH3205 forthH3205 in oneH259 dayH3117? shall a nationH1471 be bornH3205 at once? For as soon as ZionH6726 travailed, she broughtH3205 forthH3205 her sonsH1121.
9Shall I bringH3205 to the birthH3205, and not cause to bringH3205 forthH3205? saith Jehovah; I who cause to bringH3205 forthH3205, shall I shutH6113 [the womb]? saith thy 1GodH430.
10RejoiceH8055 with JerusalemH3389, and be gladH8055 for her, all ye that loveH157 her; rejoiceH8055 for joyH4885 with her, all ye that mournH56 over her:
11because ye shall suckH3243, and be satisfiedH7646 with the breastsH7699 of her consolationsH8575; because ye shall drink out, and be delightedH6026 with the abundance of her gloryH3519.
12For thusH3541 saith Jehovah: Behold, I will extendH5186 peaceH7965 to her like a riverH5104, and the gloryH3519 of the nationsH1471 like an overflowingH7857 torrent; and ye shall suckH3243, ye shall be carriedH5375 upon the sideH6654, and be dandled upon the knees.
13As oneH376 whom his motherH517 comforteth, soH3651 will I comfortH5162 you; and ye shall be comfortedH5162 in JerusalemH3389.
14And ye shall seeH7200 [this], and your heartH3820 shall rejoiceH7797, and your bonesH6106 shall flourish like the grassH1877; and the handH3027 of Jehovah shall be knownH3045 toward his servantsH5650, and he will have indignation toward his enemiesH341.
15For behold, Jehovah will comeH935 with fireH784, and his chariotsH4818 like a whirlwind, to render his angerH639 with fury, and his rebukeH1606 with flamesH3851 of fireH784.
16For by fireH784 and by his swordH2719 will Jehovah enterH8199 into judgmentH8199 with all fleshH1320: and the slainH2491 of Jehovah shall be manyH7231.
17They that sanctifyH6942 themselves, and purifyH2891 themselves in the gardensH1593 behind oneH259 in the midstH8432; that eatH398 swine's fleshH1320, and the abomination, and the mouseH5909, shall perish togetherH3162, saith Jehovah.
